New structure of firm and project folders

You can now create user-defined sub-folders under the firm and project folders and store property files in the sub-folders. This means that you can have a more organized folder structure in the project and firm folders. Tekla Structures can read and copy the property files from the sub-folders when needed. For example, property files are copied when you start sharing a model.

Note that property files cannot be read from the following pre-defined sub-folders under the firm and project folders:
  • ProjectOrganizerData

    • ProjectOrganizerData\DefaultCategoryTrees

    • ProjectOrganizerData\PropertyTemplates

    • ProjectOrganizerData\ExcelTemplates

  • AdditionalIPSets

  • macros

    • macros\drawings

    • macros\modeling

  • Drawing Details

  • extensions

    • extensions\drawings

    • extensions\model

  • CustomInquiry

  • PropertyRepository\Templates

  • symbols

  • template

    • template\mark

    • template\settings

    • template\tooltips

  • profil

    • profil\ShapeGeometries

    • profil\Shapes

  • Environment folders
Tekla Structures searches for property files in the sub-folders of the firm folder or the project folder as follows:
  1. The search starts from the root folder ( XS_FIRM or XS_PROJECT ).

  2. If Tekla Structures finds the first property file with a corresponding file name suffix and file name prefix, the property file is selected.

  3. The search continues so that each sub-folder of the root folder is searched in alphabetical order.

  4. Tekla Structures ignores each attribute file with the same file name suffix and file name prefix as the previously selected file, and stores each file name in the error log.
